Guardian of the Threshold – (1796)

Introduction

We know from Master Samael that a person’s path begins with the test of the Guardian of the Threshold.

Part of the Being

Believe it or not the Guardian of the Threshold that we face in this test is a part of our Being. Master Samael says that it is a representation of ourselves summing up all of our interior ugliness.

Encounter With Ourselves

It is an encounter with ourselves, with the ugly side of ourselves and the ugly side of our inner Being. But don’t worry the path is going to transform it.

It is a test to see if we can face ourselves, accept the ugly side of ourselves and defeat ourselves. To see if we face our own creations, and stand up to the hypnotic power that one has wrongly over the years given their egos through the wrong us of the sexual energy.

Triple Aspect

Furthermore, the Guardian of the Threshold unfolds into three. It has its triple aspects. They are the astral, mental and causal aspects. The causal is the most difficult. The mental and causal guardians are faced much later in the path at a big distance from the first guardian of the astral. This is because these two aspects of the guardian: mental and causal are more profound and more powerful as they are at the source or closer to the origin of our interior errors and ugliness etc.


Those that Pass

Those that pass can proceed to the next stage. Sometimes one may not know that one has passed. If one has been in Gnosis a long time and is really loving it and is working enthusiastically on him or herself and is getting results. One can be sure that one has passed that test somewhere along the way.
Naturally those that pass have the capacity to face themselves and see to the root cause of their difficulties in their thoughts and emotions and do not evade their responsibility for their difficulties. Those that pass open a door way into themselves where they can seek the cause of the many things that happen I their life and the many thoughts and emotions within themselves.


Those that Fail

Those that fail, I have been told have another chance. Maybe up to two more chances I have heard (maybe true or not). Those that fail must work more intensely in self-observation, self-deception, work on being more honest with themselves, stop blaming others and look for the truth behind all of their problems, difficulties and sufferings. Also, one must transmute their sexual energies. Losing their sexual energy one has no chance.

If one has not passed one day one starts to dislike the work on themselves and becomes an enemy of Gnosis. All the enemies of Gnosis are usually those who failed in the work. They for some reason failed, found it too hard and so they seek like a consolation in debasing and making out Gnosis is a false because then if it is false they have not failed. Unfortunately, they do not realise that this behaviour brings misfortune onto them because in the process they could mislead many sincere souls who could have otherwise found the light.

End (1796).

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure.  Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...
